7 select BG or SI engine for new mods - ID: 1696871

Last Update: Comment added ( marzojr )

Details:

Last time I checked, it is hardcoded that the engine being used for new
mods is the BG engine. This affects most particularly the animation of
certain items, like the fountains as the cycle is engine-dependent.

It would be great to be able to specify which engine (thus which animation
cycles, etc) a new mod is based off. At the moment, I had to update the
source to say that if a game isn't SI and isn't BG, then use SI's engine.
This unfortunately can't be distributed, which is kinda the points of
mods...

thx

Date: 2007-06-16 22:27 Sender: marzojr AFAIK, at least for intrinsic tables, it is SI, not BG, which is used as the "default" for new games. But this is used somewhat inconsistently. Animations, in any case, are not hard-coded anymore (and haven't been for quite a while). Mods automatically inherit the animations of their parent game; new games have no animation data by default. Both for mods and new games, you can specify animation cycles by placing a "shape_info.txt" file in patch dir (mods) or static/patch dirs (new games). You can look into the Exult source, in data/bg and data/si to look for their "shape_info.txt" files.

Animations, in any case, are *not* hard-coded anymore (and haven't been for
quite a while). Mods automatically inherit the animations of their parent
